Epic Soundtracks - Sleeping Star



This actually just sounds like a regular old indie/folk album.

Phil Manzanera - 50 Minutes Later



Phil Manzanera is the greatest guitarist ever but this kinda sucks. If you like Global a Go-Go by Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros, you'll probably like it though.

The Fugs - The Fugs Final CD (Part 1)



I'm going to post a bunch of shit I don't particularly like but would feel bad just deleting totally from my computer. This way I can re-download it if need be, you know?

Jonathan Richman - Her Mystery Not of High Heels and Eye Shadow



Jonathan Richman makes the kind of music I would normally dismiss as "pussy," the opening act on his current tour is Vic Chesnutt who is personal friends with the dude from Neutral Milk Hotel (*shits all over self in disgust*). Despite that terrible, terrible fact I went to see him live because his old band The Modern Lovers' first album was produced by John Cale. In the past, concerts have fallen into two categories for me, ones where when they were over I went "Finally!" or ones where I went "Well, that was indeed fine set, I enjoyed it very much." When Jonathan Richman finished though I actually let out a delicate little "awwww..." This is another one I stole from the library. It's a fine album and I insist you download it, you'll enjoy it very much.

Sun City Girls - Bright Surroundings Dark Beginnings



Double fuck! I forgot to update again and in my absence, a bunch of other people put up Big Lizard in My Backyard. I wouldn't have anything unique to post except that during this time I've discovered the wonders of the Minnesota Public Library. I wish I had waited longer to start this blog, because having it just be shit I ripped from the library would be an awesome concept. Okay, so the first thing from that joyous place that I am posting is Bright Surroundings Dark Beginnings by the Sun City Girls. This is the only album by them they had but it's also the only album by them I've ever seen anywhere. Mark Prindle likes this shit so I guess it's cool. It's more background music than anything else.
